I read as always several books at once.
One of them is Babel by R. F. Kuang. I was blown away at first, but after the first third of the book I’m not as as enthusiastic anymore. Everything to do with languages and translation is awesome, the characters are well defined but a bit one-dimensional so far, but I think the plot is nothing to write home about and has some „young adult“ vibes to me. It’s still good though, and I’m far from finished yet.
Another one is „the notebook a history of thinking on paper“ I just got it today, but it looks very promising.
Yup, I also got strong YA vibes from Babel. Got some other vibes too, but those are spoilers ;)
The Notebook sounds pretty interesting. Do share your review when you are done with it.
Will do! Its pretty interesting so far.
